The Fairer Workplaces Fund offers grant funding to deliver new projects that support flexible working practices and improve diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) within the workplace.The fund aims to bring benefits to current workplace practices and contribute to the Scottish Government’s wider ambition of creating a Fair Work Nation by 2025. Projects should contribute to reducing the Gender Pay Gap, at least halving the Disability Employment Gap, addressing employment barriers for racialised minorities and over 50s workers, and reducing Scotland’s level of economic inactivity. All of which contributes to the First Minister's key priorities of reducing child poverty and growing the economy.The fund is firmly rooted in Fair Work principles, ensuring projects help develop progressive workplaces to the benefit of employers, workers, the economy as a whole, and wider wellbeing economy aims.The Grantee must pay the real Living Wage to all staff aged 16 and over working in Scotland, including apprentices. They must also ensure that any UK-based workers engaged in grant-funded activity are paid at least the real Living Wage - including sub-contractors and agency staff, where applicable. Additionally, the Grantee must provide effective workers' voice channels for all workers, including agency workers. Upon request, the Grantee must also provide necessary information to Scottish Ministers to demonstrate compliance with these obligations.
